I was so excited about my new job. The moment I saw the cubicles I thought, how come I didn't get here sooner? The people are freaking cool. Some are jerks but they just need a piece of Prozac candy.
I didn't make it as a sales person. I figured I would be great at it. I am a customer, I have had there service for a while. I was a Verizon customer, I am certain I would be able to sell that. I had DirecTv, I worked for them, I should have been able to sell that to. Everyone wants a discount and everyone is looking for a bundle. Knowledge isn't strategic enough to be able to sell something. I think I am way to technical. The years of being a resolution specialist had me distracted to keep on trying to resolve ones issue.
Yesterday, was the last day of my assessment. I tried my hardest. I didn't succeed. Today, I was let go because I could not meet sales goal.
It really boggles my mind. Over the weekend, I nearly helped a Walmart guy make a commission off of the Droid. I even spoke to the people looking at it and I feel that I did get their interest. I bet I could sell stuff in person. It is so much different when you are there in person versus when you are on the phone. It confuses me.
I was told that I am "rehireable" by the company but, not in sales. Which is fair. I know I can't sell anything. So, I will keep my eyes open for another opportunity to work for Qwest. In the mean time, I am looking for a job again.
